Overview
Lecturer (AP3T) (SS13939) – Bath, BA2 7AY
About the role
An exciting opportunity has come up for a part-time (0.5FTE) 1-year maternity cover. We are looking for an outstanding individual to contribute to the delivery of our highly successful Advanced Programmes in Pharmacy Practice and Therapeutics (AP3T) suite of courses.
This post will focus specifically on the delivery of the Advanced Clinical Assessment or Independent Prescribing units but may also be or alternatively be required to contribute to other courses across the department and also support the teaching of other healthcare professionals.
The suite of programmes is highly regarded and delivers high quality teaching of clinical and consultation skills to pharmacists in practice. The successful individual will be keen to combine their expert professional practice with a desire to develop others through the application of their teaching and learning skills. This appointment will work within an experienced team to support the teaching and learning of our postgraduate students across a range of units.
About you
The successful individual would be required to cover a range of face to face and online teaching activities and support assessment, evaluation and pastoral support for students.
The ideal candidate for this position will be a registered and practicing (or recently practicing) health professional (e.g. medic, nurse or pharmacist) who is highly competent in prescribing, ideally with experience in physical examination of patients but this is not essential. You will have practical teaching experience ideally underpinned by postgraduate education, with familiarity with face-to-face learning – including assessment – as well as distance learning and learning in the virtual environment. You will have a high attention to detail with robust appreciation of the importance of quality in the educational context. You will have a passion and energy for teaching and learning in bringing your professional skills and experience to educate postgraduate pharmacists.
